Problem downloading Park guides to iPad

2

By azsuzie

The app work fine on my android phone, but I am unable to download Park guides on the iPad app.

Locked me out of my data

1

By Malt Miller

This used to be a free 5 star app. Then they changed their model to a rather expensive pay-for basis. In the meantime I have loaded years of info covering some 37 National Parks and I am now locked out of that data because they now insist I pay a fee to look at MY DATA!
I’m pretty angry. Not because they need to charge money for what is a pretty good app but they didn't give me chance to get my data or give me free access to the parks I’d already been to (and provided them info on). My data made this app better but I’m locked out of it. So when did I go to the Talus Cave at Pinnacles NP, or hike Wheeler Peak at Great Basin?

Crap app

By ash123n

This app is not user friendly. I paid for the year and I can’t figure out the trip planning. I downloaded the minimal map and the other one that was supposed to be more detailed, they were the same. This app is a waste of money.

Rip off

Why on earth would I pay a subscription for what is essentially a database of National Park brochures. I can download these for free on the internet.

Love this app!

Because I had used the free version of the app to plan our park visits, it was easy to decide to pay for the lifetime membership. The features I like most are the descriptions with photos and maps for hiking. The app also allows you to easily keep track of parks you have visited - nice if all of the National Parks are on a bucket list. Customer support is very responsive.

Fantastic guide app

By Erock61

The app was a tremendous assistance while we toured Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Real time downloaded info and location identification made our park visits more enjoyable and less work than would have been possible with hard copy maps. Great purchase. Bought the lifetime membership to help with future park visits.

We have used the Chimani App over the past couple of years at various National Parks with great results. We purchase a lifetime subscription and are definitely getting out monies worth.

It’s not my repertoire

5

By Ralph Netta

It’s not my repertoire to give thanks and praise for good service that I expect and deserve. But in the case of Chimani I will make an exception; their service and communication is without fault, almost instantaneous; the information provided in accurate and up to date, the app the most useful of all, nothing comes even close. The yearly membership was given too me as a gift, a gift that keeps giving and giving. If your a US traveler, purchasing this app with all the benefits, services and discounts it provides is a decision you will never regret. Money well spent and wisely. Ralph, NJ, USA

Dollar sign markers

2

By Weather Argonaut

It would be nice if there was a way to toggle on and off the dollar sign markers that offer discounts nearby parks. They cover up the actual park markers and make it hard to see what I’ve visited. Example: I went to Acadia and marked that as visited, which turned the marker orange, but I can’t see it on the map unless I zoom way in. It is covered by all kinds of dollar sign markers when zoomed out.

Provisional rating

5

By croixmom

Confiteor: my original rating with this review was 1 star. The app developer reached out in an effort to help me use the app. I am provisionally changing my original review at this time because our planned visit to Yellowstone is not until summer 2019. I am upping the rating to 5-stars for now based upon the responsiveness of the developer. I strongly believe in supporting developers for great products.
——-
I am appreciative for apps which allow the interested person a trial period before deciding if they want to keep and use the app.
The free trial period is very brief for this app so be advised.
The developer is very responsive and interested in improving the app for the user.
